Pan Pacific Hotels Group has announced the signings of four management contracts to add three PARKROYAL and one “Pan Pacific” hotels to its portfolio across Asia Pacific – namely in Australia, China and Myanmar.

With these additions, the Group now owns and/or manages 38 hotels, resorts and serviced suites with close to 12,000 rooms in Asia, Oceania and North America, including those under development.

“With its prevailing global economic and tourism influence, Asia Pacific is a key growth region for the Group and we are delighted to be making headway in our target markets where we have already established iconic hotels,” says Bernold Schroeder, Chief Executive Officer, Pan Pacific Hotels Group.

“Our four latest management contract signings will complement our existing properties to strengthen the Group’s presence across Asia Pacific and win over more customers to our PARKROYAL and “Pan Pacific” brands.”

The fourth PARKROYAL hotel in Australia and second in Melbourne – PARKROYAL Melbourne – will open in 2016 in the Digital Harbour Precinct of Melbourne Docklands, a premium waterfront development that is part of an on-going project to renew the city’s Central Business District.

Located along the Sha River and opposite the University of Electronic Science and Technology, within the oldest cultural district in Chengdu’s city centre, the Group’s first PARKROYAL hotel in China – PARKROYAL Chengdu – is scheduled to open in 2017.

One of China’s premier tourist destinations, Zhuhai will be home to Pan Pacific Zhuhai – the sixth “Pan Pacific” property in the China. The 300-room Pan Pacific Zhuhai will open its doors in 2017 next to the bustling Gongbei Business Circle and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge, which is currently under construction.

Following the success of PARKROYAL Yangon, the Group will open its second PARKROYAL hotel in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw, this year. Scheduled to launch in April, PARKROYAL Nay Pyi Taw will feature 180 rooms (opening in two phrases) and comprise an all-day dining restaurant, spa, gym, swimming pool and a range of meeting facilities.
